Ashley Benson is apologizing for her questionable choice in Halloween costumes.

“Yesterday’s post was in poor taste and I absolutely regret all of the hurt that photo caused,” the “Pretty Little Liars” star shared in a lengthy note on Wednesday. “The caption that was posted was incorrect and my costume was not Cecil the Lion, when I saw that, I contacted my management who handled the post and had it immediately changed.”

Benson, 25, stirred up the social sphere earlier this week after she posed in a Cecil the Lion ensemble and posted the snap on Instagram. After tweaking the original caption, which referenced the slain Zimbabwe lion, Benson’s camp didn’t delete the photo.

“I recognize that I am responsible for everything posted on my social accounts and this was an unfortunate oversight,” she continued, also noting that all money earned by promoting the controversial garb online would benefit the World Wildlife Fund.
